Chapter Two:

She sat up and peered out the window. She was sure she saw something. She tried to open the rusted window but it wouldn't budge. She quietly snuck out of the room and out of the house. She walked around the massive tree she called her home and saw the Prince of Fire. He sat cross-legged, he was startled to see her.

"What are you doing her?" She asked him quietly.

He was silent. He didn't know why he was here. He just was. He knew he couldn't go home, he'd just be locked up again. He didn't want to be evil he was just raised that way, and didn't know any other way. Flame Prince got up and started to leave.

"Wait! Don't leave!" Fiona pleaded as he left. She ran after him but he was to fast. "Please, I love you." She said to softly for anyone to hear.

"I love him. I love him. I love him…." She thought to herself. "But what about Marshall? I love him too. He loves me back. I don't even know why I love Flame Prince. I didn't even know he existed until yesterday, and I've known Marshall for years! Flame Prince hates me. I hate him. It's gonna stay like that. I choose Marshall." Fiona went back to sleep.

Fiona woke up to the smell of breakfast.

"What's cookin', Cake?"

"Bacon pancakes, baby!"

"Mmmmm" Fiona ate her breakfast, grabbed her backpack and headed out to Marshall's. A wave anxiety hit her as she saw his home. She was terrified, she didn't know what she was going to say or do, and she didn't know if they were dating now or what. As she approached the door and saw a note:

"Out to the Marshmallow Kingdom, be back soon" It read.

She was kind of relieved that he wasn't home yet. It'd give her time to think about what to say. She climbed up on his roof, where they'd usually play some music or just sit and talk and she stared at the clouds. She thought about what to say but every time she thought of something she thought of some flaw. Marshall saw Fiona laying of his roof and he silently lay next to her. His arm was touching her arm and they were both silent. He was just as anxious as she was but he'd never tell her that, of course. Out of the corner of his eye he could see her blush which he thought was massively cute. Fiona knew she was blushing but didn't know he could see.

"That one looks like a cow" Marshall pointed at the clouds. Fiona laughed.

"That one looks like a butt." She said and Marshall laughed loudly.

They looked at each other and smiled. Marshall put his arm around her. They each took turns pointing out different cloud shapes and laughed.

"Ahh I love you Fiona" Marshall said. Fiona couldn't tell if he was serious.

"Like ummm," Fiona tried to find the right words."Like love or love love." Marshall sat up, so did she. He held her hand to his heart.

"Fiona, I am madly in love with you. I love you so much that I want to go and shout my love for you from the rooftops, m'lady." He bowed gentlemanly which made her giggle.

"Well, sir, I love you too." She said bowing.

"Do you Fiona?"

"Yes, Marshall I do. I really do."

Marshall blushed a little then kissed her. She kissed him back.

They went inside and they watched a movie on the couch cuddling. He had his arms wrapped around her and he played with her beautiful golden hair. She pecked at his neck and he laughed and told her to stop. They lay there as the fell asleep.

She woke up a little bit later and she shook his shoulder.

"I've gotta go Marshall." She whispered.

"Okay I love you"

"I love you too"

Fiona left and headed home. It was one in the morning and Cake was defiantly going to be worried. She couldn't tell her what happened because she'd assume things. Fiona would never do that of course. Well she didn't think she would, she felt that she was too awkward for that. She opened the door and Cake ran to greet her, hugging her.

"Fiona! I was worried sick about you! Where were you?"

"I'm fine Cake. I was just helpin' LSP with some stuff and I was tired so I took a nap. That's all"

"Are you sure Fiona? Is that it?"

"Yeah Cake"

"Okay Fi"

Cake knew she was lying. Lumpy Space Prince was off to Lumpy Space for a family reunion. She didn't know why Fiona would ever lie to her but she knew Fiona wouldn't do anything she'd regret. Fiona was strong and knew what was right and wrong, she'd never let anyone take advantage of her. But she was kind of depressed… she was kind of vulnerable…. she couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Fiona I know you're lying!" Cake blurted out.

"What are you taking about? I was with LSP…."

"No you weren't! LSP is at a family reunion, he told me last Wednesday at book club! Fiona tell me what's going on right now!"

"Wait book club?" Fiona asked

"Never mind about that. Tell me Fi, I worry about you."

"Fine, I was…ummm… I was with Marshall Lee. We're ummm… we're dating. I think."

"Oh my Fiona's gotta boyfriend!" Cake exclaimed," Fiona and Marshall sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S— Wait, what were you doing with Marshall?" Cake asked accusingly.

"Cake! It's nothing like that!" Fiona blushed,"We were just watching a movie!"

"At one in the morning?"

"Okay we were looking at clouds then we watched a movie and we fell asleep. That's it. I promise."

"Mmmmhmmm that'd better be it"
